Chapter 620: Building a Theological School
Just when Lu Wang was agitating on the stage, there was a different scene on the edge of another lake in Hangzhou, thousands of miles away.
This is Hangzhou, here is West Lake No. 1, here is the base of the Lu family, the root of the Lu family, there is a person walking slowly alone on the lake with thick ice, this person is short, but his face is full of strength, he is Luo Rucai, who was still in the limelight a few months ago, but now few people know his identity, because there are many rumors that he wanted to escape and was killed when he was in Shandong.
Luo Rucai just arrived in Hangzhou last night, but along the way, he also gained knowledge, especially the understanding of the Rwann forces, it can be said that from Beijing to Shandong and Henan in the southwest, and Zhejiang in the southeast, the Ming army has laid no data points, but if there is any news, as long as Luwang wants to know or want to convey half a day, you can know.
The news was conveyed so quickly, for example, when I just stepped on the land of Hangzhou last night, I immediately heard a major good news: Fuxing Hou Lu Wangjin was crowned the God King of Fu, Hangzhou was shaken, and West Lake No. 1 carnivaled all night.
But Luo Cao Cao knew that this carnival did not belong to him, and he was now just a person who had already died, at least in the Ming Dynasty, he was dead, and the only place that could let him shine was the land of projectiles in the east.
The West Lake is very big, Luo is so lonely walking on the edge of the distance looks like a sesame seed, no one knows what he is thinking, and no one cares, even Nan Yan, who is standing on a two-story building by the lake, although he also sees Luo Rucai, but his mind is not on him at all.
Nan Yan couldn't calm down for a long time, since he heard the good news last night, the big names in Hangzhou City came to say hello despite the cold at night, and even joked that the Hou Ye's Mansion was going to be changed to the Divine King's Mansion, thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help laughing, and turned his head to look at the palace that was still under construction not far away.
West Lake No. 1 serves as the base camp of the Lu family. It is of great significance, this is different from the abandoned base camp of the Lu family on the outskirts of Jinhua, because there are still thousands of registered family members here, in other words, mechanics, who can not only repair cars, but also weld electricity. will use all kinds of machines brought by Lu Wang, such as excavators, cranes, tractors, mixers, etc., in other words, these people are not only the Lu family's family members, but also the most cutting-edge technicians of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the real elite.
As the big shopkeeper of West Lake No. 1, Nanyan's shoulders are naturally very stressful, in addition to being ordered to develop lakeside properties. At present, shipyards and docks are still being built, and I heard that the prince is going to build a textile factory here.
Aside from the textile mill, the shipyard and the wharf are both big projects, in addition to recruiting shipbuilders, they also need a lot of labor, and at this moment the Ming Dynasty is not lacking labor, in addition to some refugees called by the locals, Nanyan has sent people to Henan to find Zuo Liangyu to transfer people. There are not only many refugees, but also hundreds of thousands of good thieves. So even though it's the Chinese New Year, the two construction sites never stop for a moment.
In these years, some people burn incense and worship Buddha without starving, and no one cares about wages at all, and the Lu family has done a very good job, the most basic food is guaranteed to be no problem at all, and the craftsmen are paid. And it's not low, of course, those refugees will give some living expenses.
At the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, migrant workers are building a wharf while the ice is frozen, and not far from the wharf is the shipyard. Of course, it is also under construction, migrant workers build houses, workers cut wood, craftsmen measure timber, everything is ready in an orderly manner, and the technicians of the Lu family are also involved in providing technology, such as excavators and cranes are transferred from Jinhua, for example, many tractors are also transferred here, and I heard that a batch of logging and shipbuilding tools will be shipped soon.
"My lord, the batch of people that the prince wants are ready to go, when will he go north?" Although Nan Yan did not go to the battlefield, he was at the helm of the Lu family's base camp, he had a military rank, and he was not low, so everyone in the Lu family was used to calling him Lord, and at this moment, a subordinate stood below and looked at him and said.
Lu Wan asked a group of mechanics to go north, which was sent last night with the good news of the promotion, but last night only cared about the carnival until now to determine the good manpower, a total of forty people, including all kinds of professional talents.
"Let's leave early tomorrow" Nanyang retracted his thoughts: "The prince's command is as soon as possible, let them go on the road on both horses, non-stop!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The subordinates were about to leave, but they were stopped by Nanyan: "Send a few brothers to drive the dwarf on the lake to Wenzhou quickly, leave early and finish early, look upset!" ”
The cold winter day is very short, and the night will come quietly before you know it, but at six o'clock in the evening, the open space on the shore of Kunming Lake has been empty, and the students of Guozijian have left with the harvest of the day, and Lu Wang has instilled too much knowledge in them in one day, which is enough for them to digest for a while, although many people are still unsatisfied, but I'm sorry, the god king doesn't care about dinner, everyone, please!
Lu Wang, who felt that his throat was about to smoke, drank the honey grapefruit tea carefully concocted by Xiao Yue for him, and was meeting guests on the first floor of Asgard Palace at this time, yes, Lu Wang returned to the front door and moved his big villa to the shore of Kunming Lake, not because he couldn't stand it, but Tian Xiuying After strolling around here for an afternoon, she resolutely decided to live here with her mother and son for a period of time between the mountains and rivers, and being able to take the initiative to speak shows that she took a brave step, so Lu Wang didn't even think about agreeing to this request directly!
The villa is placed next to a few ancient trees camped in Luwan last night, the only difference is that a few deep ditches are dug in the hidden grass nearby, which are used to drain sewage, once the generator of this villa in Rwann is running, in addition to the network, there is no difference from the mansion of later generations, water supply and power supply, heating is fully automatic, without any geographical restrictions, that is, the big reservoir on the fourth floor is enough to use for half a year, and the reservoir has protective measures to ensure that it will not freeze in the cold!
Lu Wang's guests on the first floor are very famous, at least in their industry, but their status is very low, and it is like a dream for them to enter the fairy palace, and they feel that everything is too unreal, there are not many guests, one old and one young, the old one is called Feng Qiao, and the young one is called Liang Jiu, one is a contemporary royal master, and the other is a later royal master.
Feng Qiao was specially sent by Chongzhen to build the Divine King's Mansion for Lu Wang, and this morning he took his beloved disciples and a group of apprentices to Wengshan to survey, and when he was about to leave when it was dark, he didn't want to be stopped by the people of Jinyiwei, saying that the God King was invited, and had dinner together!
The dinner was simple and sumptuous, and it was also handled by the imperial chef, but they were not used to it and would not use the kitchen in Asgard, and they still cooked food for Lu Wang and Guifei and others in the temporary kitchen built outside.
According to Lu Wang's meaning, he wanted to build a big building on the top of Wengshan Mountain, called the Palace of the Gods and Kings, but he didn't want to use a civil structure, and if that thing caught fire or something, it would only be a scum and troublesome maintenance, so his suggestion was a masonry structure and cement pouring, which is why he had to transfer technicians from Hangzhou to help Feng Qiao with construction!
Building a palace on the mountain is not something that can be built in a short time even if there are tools and machines for later generations, but fortunately, Lu Wan is not in a hurry about this, but just let Feng Qiao slowly draw the drawings, recruit craftsmen and workers to do some preliminary infrastructure construction first, and the most important thing at the moment is that he wants to build a theological school by the lake.
To put it bluntly, it is a school, according to Lu Wang's meaning, he wants to train a group of practical technical talents for Daming as soon as possible, and the most needed practical talents at the moment are not astronomers, geographers, let alone chemists, and these families cannot be trained in a short period of time, he is training a group of smelting experts, ironmaking, steelmaking! This is what is most needed in this era!
In fact, at the beginning, Lu Wang planned to name this school the Iron and Steel Institute, and selected a group of interested students from Guozijian, and then summoned some iron mine craftsmen to come over for intensive training and study, and he served as the main lecturer.
Another point is that in fact, there are many experts in steelmaking today, but the technology is limited, and Lu Wang only needs to bring some advanced technologies suitable for this era, and let them practice the rest, he believes that the wisdom of craftsmen in this era is no worse than that of later generations!
However, there is one point, the name of the Iron and Steel Academy is too earthy, and it seems incompatible with his God-King Mansion, so Lu Wang changed the name to the Theological Academy, anyway, the content of the future courses is not limited to smelting, and it will develop slowly!
Lu Wang took the sketch he had drawn and explained to Feng Qiao while eating that he planned to build a theological school on the south bank of Kunming Lake, with an independent courtyard with classrooms and dormitories, and it was tentatively designed to accommodate 500 people.
For this kind of small project, Feng Qiao said that there is no pressure at all, as long as the silver is in place, the workers are in place, it can be completed in a month, for which Lu Wang gave him a very high evaluation, of course, this is superficial, and the heart is still complaining, if in the future, everything is in place, ten days will be delivered!
However, the most urgent project at the moment is not to build a theological school, but to enclose his own territory, according to Lu Wang's request, Chongzhen gave him the boundaries of the Summer Palace in later generations, and it is even much larger than that of later generations, after all, in this era, Zhou Zao is uninhabited by barren mountains and mountains.
Then the problem is, since there is a master now, then it is necessary to draw a boundary, all enclosed by brick walls is a big project, not a time and a half to complete, and Rwann does not intend to do this, his request is very simple, that is, the pile is buried with barbed wire, but even so, the amount of work is still not small.
In fact, he didn't have this plan at first, until Tian Xiuying said that he liked the mountains and rivers here and wanted to live for a while, Lu Wang made up his mind to fence it and prohibit idle people from entering his own territory, after all, there is a noble concubine living here, not to mention anything else, you have to be safe!
It was already past nine o'clock when Feng Qiao and Liang Jiu left, and Lu Wang, who had washed up, was ready to explain something to Xiaoyue, because he was going to Shanhaiguan early in the morning, and he had to explain the things here, but at this time, someone reported that the emperor had arrived!
